Welcome to dorsetmums - A families guide to life in dorset

Dorset has a wonderful variety of attractions, soft plays, farms, castles, country parks, museums and much more.

From small soft plays and play cafes which are perfect for little one's to larger venues providing hours of entertainment, you'll find it all in Dorset.

Are you looking for a baby sensory class or a music and movement group?  Or maybe you would like your child to take up a sport or begin swimming?  Dorsetmums lists all the favourites here. 

Not sure what to do with the kiddies during half term?  Special events include welly walks, children's workshops, craft activities, bouncy fun play, discos, fossil casting and nature trails.  To see what's on near you, please see our list of February Half Term events.

If you are looking to grab a pre loved bargain or sell some children's bits and bobs then take a look at our Nearly New Sale page to see what's coming up near you.

Camping has become a firm family favourite activity and Dorset has some great sites offering outstanding views, swimming pools, play parks, entertainment and fire pits ready for toasting marshmallows.

Dorsetmums have created a list of campsites which have been recommended by local parents in Summer 2017 so please take a peek here and see where your next family adventure takes you!

The Dorsetmums blog is full of attraction, product and theatre reviews plus recipes and guest posts from Dorsetnanny.

Are you a Dorset attraction or soft play looking to promote your venue or event?  Or do you run children's classes and need to push your new term?  Dorsetmums can help!
